Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and you want to ensure your look is perfect. Enhancing your natural beauty is the best way to ensure that you look and feel beautiful for your special day. Elegant bridal makeup is a wonderful way to accentuate your best features and create a beautiful, timeless look that will have you feeling confident and breathtakingly beautiful!

1. Natural Beauty: Making the Best of You

• Enhance what already exists: Beauty is not something you can just buy in a box or a bottle. It comes from within and it comes from a focus on the beauty that already exists in our bodies, spirits, and lives. A few simple steps can help bring out the best in you. Take time to care for your skin and hair, and add accents such as makeup and jewelry to enhance certain features.
• Living authentically: The key to feeling good about your physical beauty lies in being true to yourself. Celebrate your body type, look, and individuality. It doesn’t matter what standard of beauty is currently in fashion; what is important is that you are embracing your most beautiful self.
• Invest in yourself: It’s OK to do nice things for yourself even if it’s something small. Hiking, yoga, or getting a manicure; whatever it is give yourself the time and treat to do something you enjoy. Taking time for yourself can make a great difference in how you see and feel about your beauty.
• Positive thoughts: Remember that beauty isn’t only skin deep. An uplifting attitude and looking at the world in a positive way can help you radiate an inner beauty that is unrivaled. Being kind, forgiving, and open-minded is a true beauty, and something that doesn’t require a makeup bag to achieve.

2. Create Your Dream Bridal Makeup Look

Every bride wants to look extra special on her wedding day. Whether it’s natural or bold, it’s time to create that perfect dream bridal makeup look! Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Bring your vision to life: Gather images of makeup looks that stand out to you, and use them for inspiration.
• Identify your facial features: Have a professional makeup artist or aesthetic professional help you determine which features you should highlight or balance out.
• Choose your colors: Make sure you choose colors that compliment your skin tone, while also creating the desired effect.

Priming Your Skin

Your wedding makeup look should also be designed to last all day long – so you need to start with skin that’s well-hydrated and primed. Choose an oil-free moisturizer that suits your skin type and apply a primer before you begin your makeup application.

Foundation and Concealer

Start with foundation and concealer to even out any irregularities in skin tone and texture. Pick a matte foundation that matche your skin tone; not too light, not too dark. A concealer with yellow undertones is best for under eye circles.

3. Enhancing Your Features with Subtlety

Though we often think of make-up as the greatest tool for enhancing and framing our features, it’s important not to overlook subtler methods which can be just as effective. Here are some simple, but powerful ways to make your features ‘pop’:

• Illuminate the face with a shimmery primer – this will pick out your best features with a subtle sparkle
• Curl your eyelashes to open up the eyes and boost their definition
• Boost your brows with a tinted gel to fill in any sparse gaps
• Subtly contour to enhance the cheekbones and create an ‘instant’ lifted effect

Though shimmer and definition are a great start to enhancing your features, something like blush can be a bit tricky. Too much and you’ll end up looking overdone and perhaps quite clown-ish. The best advice is to apply this lightly and with a subtle hand. Swirling a peachy-pink shade onto the apples of your cheeks can help to create a natural lift and offer all-day flush of colour.

Finally, it’s all about enhancing your features without overdoing it. We’re all unique and our faces should reflect that. Subtlety is the key to achieving a truly flattering look and there are plenty of ways to master it!

4. Essential Products for a Flawless Finish

Nothing shows off your makeup like a flawless finish. Achieving airbrushed perfection is easier said than done, but these products are essential components for a long-lasting look.

• Primer:

A must do before foundation! Primer creates a beautiful canvas, blurring out any pores and fine lines. It gives you a more uniform coverage – and locks on your makeup, so it stays on longer. Choose a primer that works best with your skin – oil-free if you have an oily complexion, and a hydrating one if you have dry skin.

• Makeup Sponge:

These sponges are amazing at evening out your foundation, giving you an overall seamless complexion. Put a few drops of foundation on the sponge and lightly dab and bounce onto your skin. The trick is to keep the sponge damp – add warm water to re-hydrate, and blot off the excess before you start.

• Face Powder:

A light dusting of powder helps set your makeup and removes any dewy shine. Apply powder with a large brush or sponge to reduce blotchiness. Translucent powders are great for a range of complexions and won’t change the colour of your foundation.

5. Bringing Out the Best of Your Innate Beauty

The beauty you were born with is something to be celebrated. You have been gifted with a unique form that nobody else was given. Here are five ways to bring out the best of your innate beauty:

• Smile often: One of the most powerful ways to show your true beauty is with a genuine, friendly smile. Smiling can make a huge impact on your appearance, and it will also make you feel just a little bit better about yourself.
• Mix it up: Take some risks and try something new with your look. Nothing says “confident” like being brave enough to try a style that is different from what you normally wear. Not only will this give you a boost of self-esteem, but it can also help bring out a different side of you.
• Take care of your skin: A healthy complexion is a great way to naturally boost your beauty. Eating well and getting plenty of rest will help ensure that your skin is glowing. Additionally, using the right products for your skin type is key for keeping your skin moisturized and looking its best.
• Stay positive: Your mindset is just as important as your physical health when it comes to bringing out your natural beauty. Working on staying positive and surrounding yourself with happy people can help you radiate positive energy that can be seen on your face.
• Find inspiration: Taking the time to look for inspiration in different people and places can help you bring out the beauty within. Draw inspiration from those that inspire you and use those ideas to create your own unique look that will make you feel confident and beautiful.

These five simple steps are sure to bring out the best of your innate beauty. Embrace your one-of-a-kind form and use these tips to help you shine!
